Why giving pays back and an unexpected dive into the benefits of AI. Dave Hider, MBA, founder of Mind-Gap, coaching lecturer and philanthropist

Big Balance Theory

Welcome to this latest conversation with Dave Hider. Dave has held extensive strategic leadership roles and during lockdown, whilst working full time, navigating different processes as a result of lockdown with most of his team furloughed he completed his MBA with distinction. Covid made him realise that life is too short so he left the trappings of a stable career and started his own business Mind-Gap with a purpose to help leaders bridge the gap between unlocked potential and success. The business is booming and he is committed to donating 30% of his time and profits to support some of the poorest countries in the world and talks about corporate karma.

As a coach and trainer he talks about balancing market opportunities of online coaching and rich and engaging training. Can it be done without the coffee conversations?

“Ploughing a furrow…” We explore the meaning of work-life balance and how his own journey is so liberating and rewarding that, even though he works more hours now, he is more balanced.

Dave reveals how he’s moved from the ‘fast line’ to the ‘flow lane’ and why purpose is pivotal to all that he does. In his case he is really driven to helping people, businesses and communities to hunt out what else they could be doing, discovering and ‘leaning into’.

Dave’s 3 words for happiness, success and balance:

· GIVING – always attracted to those that give

· PURPOSE – how do we move to proactive not reactive sense of purpose

· POTENTIAL – the importance of stepping out of your comfort space

Dave wraps up with what we should do more and less of to get a happier, balanced life
